That ol’ combo

I went for the easy option today, a light, a dark and a print. That’s really my fail proof, go to combo whenever I’m in a rush, which often happens on the days Soph and I have to be out the door by 7.45 to get her to child care and me go work by 8.30!

The print scarf has grey, white and blue in it so it really ties the outfit together, and I picked these flats, because I liked how the prints worked together!

As I have been a bit slack with my website recently, I thought I better include where everything is from on here.

Navy Blazer: TuYu 2012
Quilted grey top: Target July 2014
White jeggings: Country Road March 2014
Print flats: Target November 2013
Blue splodgy scarf: Cotton On current season

How to wear a masculine plaid shirt

One of my friends asked me how she could wear her red plaid shirt without looking too masculine, so this post is for you Jess!

If you are going to wear something as intrinsically masculine as a plaid shirt, then you need to pair it with really feminine things to balance out all that masculinity!

An easy way to style your plaid shirt, is to wear it like a jacket over a loose flounced top, with necklace, skinny jeans point toe or ballet flats.

Alternatively wear it as a jacket over a dress, or with a skirt. As the dress and skirt are so feminine you can get away with a puffer vest or more masculine shoes.

You can also wear it buttoned up with a short statement necklace over the top. Because the statement necklace is so feminine You can get away with more masculine boyfriend style jeans.

Hope this has helped Jess!

Happy Father’s Day

Our little family had a wonderful Father’s Day! So I thought I’d include a few of the highlights along with my everyday style.

Today I wore lots of light layers which was perfect as I could whip off a layer as needed.

I really mixed my prints today, but they all had something in common, my top had a navy and white horizontal stripe, my cropped jacket had a black and white horizontal stripe as did my shoes. Then my scarf linked it all together with charcoal, navy and light blue splodges.

Hope all the Dad’s and Grandad’s had a lovely day!

Light, Dark, Print and Colour – Fail safe way to put an outfit together!

If  like me you occasionally press the snooze button a few too many times in the morning, or end up standing with your head against the shower screen with hot water hitting your back for ten minutes. Then, just like me you would know that feeling of urgency as you stand in, or in front of your wardrobe trying to work out what on earth you are going to wear and quickly before you are late for work.

My fail safe way to quickly put together an outfit is to grab a light neutral (my top), a dark neutral (my skirt and tights), a print (either the scarf, or if you have a multi-coloured or textured necklace) and a colour (the blazer).

I can find scarfs annoying after a while, particularly when I am working at my desk, which is why I wore the necklace under the scarf. My tan boots tie in really well with the necklace, but are neutral enough to work even when the necklace is covered.

After work I just switched out my boots and skirt for flats and my boyfriends for a more casual (and comfortable) look.
